Lake Winnipeg Science Workshop, November 29-30, 2004
Abstract
The Lake Winnipeg Science Workshop was organized by an ad hoc Steering Committee at
the request of the Provincial Minister of Water Stewardship and the Federal Ministers of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and Environment Canada (EC).
Members of the Steering Committee, in alphabetical order, were: Vic Cairns (DFO,
Burlington), Kevin Cash (EC, Saskatoon), Robert Fudge (DFO, Winnipeg), Keith
Kristofferson (DFO, Winnipeg), Joe O’Connor (Water Stewardship, Winnipeg), Peter
Thompson (DFO, Sarnia), and Dwight Williamson (Water Stewardship, Winnipeg). The
work of the Steering Committee was supported by Burton Ayles (Consultant, Winnipeg)
and David Rosenberg (Consultant, Winnipeg) who also chaired and facilitated the
workshop.
The workshop report was drafted by Burton Ayles and David Rosenberg and was reviewed
by the Steering Committee. The recommendations were prepared after the workshop and
were based on the workshop results and discussions.1 They were approved by the Steering
Committee as the outcomes of the workshop but they do not necessarily reflect the
positions of the government departments involved.
